Definitions

  • hair transplant in addition to appropriate medical therapies, the appearance of hair loss can also be improved surgically by various surgical procedures, collectively known as hair transplant.
  • the objective of a hair transplant is to move hair follicles from one area of the skin, typically the posterior and lateral aspects of the scalp, hereon refer as the donor, to another area of the skin that is deficient of hair, typically the top of the scalp, hereon refer as the recipient, where these relocated hair serve to improve one's look.
  • hair follicles are often moved as follicular units, the natural groupings of hair follicles. Each follicular unit typically contains 1 to 4 hairs and falls within a cylindrical volume about 1 mm in diameter and 4 to 6 mm deep.
